Jed Brewer has worn many musical masks over the decades. Indie pop weirdness in Harvester, the maestro in Carquinez Straits and the collaborator in San Kazakgascar. For insight into the collaborative process of "Too Many People" check out this blog from Lather Records.

San Kazakgascar (Sacramento, California) seems to have the most staying power. This is the kind of music you can just put on and soak in. "Heart of Dusk" is my immediate favorite.

This release makes me think of the recent work of David Lance Callahan (without vocals). I've also referred to San Kazakgascar when discussing bands like Nausia and Savage Republic.

Savage Republic

Another AMH in-depth and second in a series of what will be four posts about music played at this fest, with this one featuring pioneering UK funk-indie outfit Medium Medium and LA-area proto-shoegazers/mediterranean surf rock group Savage Republic.

This is a followup to this post I made. The Opress brothers time-traveling will always have a special spot in my heart. The question is when do they travel. Here are the options and my thoughts.

The High Republic Era: I'm going to say this going in, I do not know a huge amount about the High Republic. I do, however, know the basics. What would probably happen (based on Maul and Savage's actions during the Clone Wars) is that they'd stroll into the Nihil's house and go, "Hey bitches, we're hijacking you. Deal with it." Would it work? I dunno. But they'd certainly try. And I know that Maul would get a kick out of revealing the Sith to the Jedi again, only this time he wouldn't get chopped in half. (Their horrified faces are hilarious.)

The Original Trilogy: They end up working with the Rebellion. Feral is into it, Savage is going along with it, and Maul is the deranged chihuahua screaming in the background.

The TV Series: They run into Andor and make everything worse. They run into The Mandalorian and Maul immediately tries to make Grogu his apprentice. They run into Ahsoka and she immediately has a raging migraine. They run into Obi-Wan Kenobi and he immediately grabs Leia and runs.

The Sequel Trilogy: Maul will either try to take Rey as his apprentice (and might actually succeed) or storm into the First Order and rant to Kylo Ren about how fucking pathetic his emo ass is being so get the fuck off your ass, you whiny bitch, and kill people in actual lightsaber duels! Back in his day, they were successful without a giant fleet! This goes on for a while, with Savage, Feral, and Hux avoiding eye contact.

KOTOR: They can run around raising a criminal empire while everyone dukes it out. Well, until Maul starts doing his usual thing and they end up in more trouble than usual.

The Legends Future: Whether it's the period of time when Thrawn is attacking the Republic, Luke is recruiting and training his Jedi students, the Yuuzhan Vong are attacking, or the Legacy comics, they'll be an unexpected (and not happy) surprise.

kotor and rebel fans eat well tonight 🫡
